I bought this for my new Note8. I had the same for my S5 and it helped that phone survive a few drops without any issues. Expecting the same from the new Commuter for my phone. I had to wait a week after I rec'd the phone and UI was so concerned about dropping the phone :) No worries now as the case fits perfectly and appears to protect the phone in all the right places. Very happy with purchase.
Highly Recommend for Samsung Galaxy Note 8. I have used the Defender Series Otter Box for the past 7 years with 4 Samsung Note devices and love the quality, protection, fit, and feel. I would like to have seen the screen protector remain on the Defender Series for the Note 8, but the device's curved design and infinity display likely made that extra protection improbable. The Defender Series is still the best case available for my devices, but for this Note 8 I had to add a curved glass screen protector.
I bought this case before my note 8 arrived. I debated between this and the defender case for quite some time, and the deciding factor was retaining wireless charging. This case does an amazing job of keeping the phone safe during drops, allows the entire screen to be used, and has a very slim profile. The only case IMO that can beat this is the defender, but that comes at the cost of wireless charging...
I purchased this on a recommendation from a friend a s couldn't be more pleased. It fits my Galaxy Note8 perfectly. I was really worried about the edge features on the phone being restricted by a case, bit no worries there! Highly recommend.
Fit, feel and protection, port covers fit snug but open readily, corners are grippy, no interference to screen. Power, volume and Bixby buttons respond as if case wasn't there. Haven't dropped it yet but the day is still young, will update if need be
purchased the pink to replace a black. You need to make bright colors; easier to find in your purse, not left behind if you have a bright color. Purchased pink but I would have purchased orange if it was offered
I like Otter Box, the cases are durable and the colors are excellent! I'm giving this 4 stars because there is no screen protector included. You must buy one separately. So I bought another case that had one included for a lot less money and I'm using the screen protector from that case with the Otter Box bc this is a much nicer case.
Love Otter box! Looks good! Really the best protection out there, especially if you are hard on your phone's! The belt clip is great and gives you the option of wearing it screen out or fully protected by facing the inside of the holster!
